She saw the peony hairpin in Ouyang Jing's hand at a glance, and immediately understood.

It seems that he came here for this matter.

But how did he know?

Xie Mishuang glanced at the maids behind him calmly and found that one of the maids with lowered eyebrows had a flickering eye and seemed to be a little guilty.

She understood something instantly, walked forward calmly, bowed slightly, and said calmly, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Crown Prince."

Ouyang Jing's eyes swept over Xie Mishuang, his tone icy and piercing: "Is this how you treat my gift?"

Xie Mishuang raised her head and met Ouyang Jing's deep eyes. She said calmly, "Since His Royal Highness has given the gift to me, I naturally have the right to dispose of it, don't I?"

"How dare you!" Xie Wenyao was immediately furious and shouted, "Shuang'er, how could you speak to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like that?"

He quickly turned to look at Ouyang Jing and said with an apologetic smile, "Your Highness, please calm down. Shuang'er is still young and naive. Please don't argue with her."

Xie Chuxue was secretly happy in her heart, Xie Mishuang, Xie Mishuang, you are asking for death this time!

However, the frost on Ouyang Jing's face seemed to melt a little, and he even revealed a hint of helplessness. He said in a frustrated tone: "Since the future Crown Princess doesn't like the gift I gave you, then I will take it back."

After he finished speaking, he casually threw the peony hairpin in his hand to the follower behind him, and then left the main hall without looking back.

When he passed by Xie Mishuang, he smelled her unique sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, which permeated his nostrils and made his heart flutter. He was reluctant to blame her.

Xie Mishuang looked at his somewhat depressed back suspiciously, seemingly heartbroken.

Is it her imagination?

However, if something she sincerely gave to someone else was given away by someone else, she would also be sad.

Never mind, there’s plenty of time to make up for it after marriage.

It was not until the prince had left the Xie Mansion for a while that the Xie family recovered from their shock, because the prince's expression when he first arrived and when he left were completely different.

Xie Wenyao had a false alarm, but he didn't forget to ask for culpability: "Shuang'er, what's going on with that peony hairpin?"

Xie Mishuang told Xie Chuxue the whole story, and her face darkened, especially when she heard her talking about the peony hairpin made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, she became jealous and crazy.

Even though she married the prince in her previous life, she didn't get the peony hairpin from the prince. Why did this bitch Xie Mishuang deserve it?

Xie Wenyao sighed and said with some disappointment: "Xue'er, you will be married tomorrow. You have also experienced what happened today. Daddy will replace the handkerchief that your elder sister accidentally dropped. Before you get married, you should prepare well in your own yard."

After saying that, he also left the main hall, leaving only Shen, Xie Mishuang and Xie Chuxue.

Xie Mishuang was about to leave when Xie Chuxue stopped her: "Why is the prince so nice to you? What kind of seductive magic did you use?"

Xie Mishuang twitched the corner of his mouth. Fox charm?

Xie Mishuang chuckled: "My sister's fox charm is not bad, otherwise why would the fifth prince jump into the water to save you that day without hesitation."

Xie Chuxue choked, then regained her composure, "Aren't you afraid that if you enter the Crown Prince's Mansion, the Crown Prince will come after you in the future?"

Xie Mishuang blinked his eyes: "I'm so scared, how about my sister marrying for me?"

Xie Chuxue was stunned and quickly shook her head: "I don't want to. You are the Crown Princess, not me. If I take your place, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Sister, please don't dream about it."

Xie Mishuang sighed and pretended to be helpless: "Well, this is the only way."

After saying that, Xie Mishuang supported Qinghe beside him and returned to the Winter Warmth Pavilion.

"Miss, how can you say that you want to give the Crown Princess to the Second Miss? What if she really agrees?" Qing He said depressedly.

"She doesn't dare to become the Crown Princess." Xie Mishuang took a sip of tea and chuckled.

Xin Yan knocked Qing He's head and said, "Even if Second Miss Xie agrees, I won't. Don't forget, I'm close to the Empress. The Empress has already decided that the eldest lady will be the Crown Princess. No one else can do that."

Qinghe covered her head and laughed out loud, and the Dongnuan Pavilion was filled with laughter again.

It is April, the season of spring flowers.

In addition, tomorrow is the Xie family's wedding day, and the servants in the mansion are busy and flustered. Shen has ordered people to prepare a lot of dowry.

Xie Mishuang knew that her mother's share was included in the dowry, and she had to find a way to get it back today.

It can be considered as fulfilling the unfulfilled wish of the previous life.

After lunch, Xie Mishuang brought Qinghe and Xin Yan to the warehouse.

There were two or three servants outside the warehouse still moving things, apparently preparing Xie Chuxue's dowry.

One of the servants saw Xie Mishuang coming and quickly stepped forward to greet her: "Miss, why are you here?"

"I'm here to count my mother's dowry. You know I'm about to move into the Prince's Mansion, so naturally I have to take my mother's dowry with me." Xie Mishuang said in an orderly manner.

"That's true, Miss, but I need to report this to the Madam first."

Xie Mishuang took out a list and said, "No need for that. I am the eldest daughter of the Xie family, so I have the final say on the storehouse. You should move the items on this list to my yard as soon as possible. If there are any missing items, you can use the treasures from other storehouses to offset them."

The servant took the list and broke out in a cold sweat after reading it.

"Miss, we don't have any of these things in the warehouse."

Xie Mishuang had expected this, but still feigned surprise and asked, "What? Where did it go?"

"Little one, little one, I don't know either."

Xie Mishuang nodded and said, "In that case, you will come with me to see Daddy and let him find out the truth. If you know anything, just tell me the truth."

"Miss, please don't make things difficult for me. I really don't know where these things went." The servant lowered his head and said in embarrassment.

"I don't want to say the same thing again. Now I am the future Crown Princess. My status in front of father is much higher than that of the first lady behind you. You must not do anything that you will regret." Xie Mishuang's tone was a little majestic and oppressive.

The servants panicked for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Miss, we will follow you right away."

In Xie Wenyao's study, Shen brought a bowl of ginseng soup and placed it on the table.

"Master, you have worked hard, take a rest." Shen's tone was so gentle that it softened people's ears. Xie Wenyao put down the brush in his hand and his eyes wandered over Shen.

Shen's face was shy. This bowl of ginseng soup was a love potion specially prepared for him. This was also the reason why she had always been favored by Xie Wenyao.

Even he himself didn't know why he was obsessed with Shen. After all, her face was not that good-looking, but her figure looked like a stunner.

After Xie Wenyao drank the ginseng soup in big gulps, he felt burning with desire and thought that it was Shen's charm that made him like this.

The two were just about to go to the bed and do what they had not done when there was a knock on the study door.
